Question:

What is the energy transfer of a moving object hitting an obstacle?

Author: Salwa Zafar



Answer:

When an object such as a car is moving, the chemical energy of the fuel is converted to kinetic energy. if the object hits an obstacle, such as a car hitting a wall, the speed of the car will decelerate, so the kinetic energy will decrease. In this scenario, the kinetic energy store of the moving object is converted to thermal energy and sound between the car and the wall.
